9. I call myself a "Social Democrat."
Wiki says that a 'social democrat' basically moves left, and a Democratic Socialist, such as Bernie Saunders, is moving more toward the center, from a far left position.

In any case, I agree. Typical classic liberalism is not left enough. I'm not in favor of precluding small corporations, however. I have a few in the computer-related/internet category. That having been said, I'm for healthcare for all, in addition to many social programs that successfully address basic needs thoroughly, for everyone.
